Confident, Curious, and Ready for the Future: Discover Our Waldorf Middle School

A supportive, engaging middle school experience where students grow as thinkers, creators, and community members.

Middle school is a time of profound growth — academically, socially, and personally. At Charlottesville Waldorf School, our Middle School program for grades 6 through 8 is designed to meet students at this pivotal stage with meaningful challenges, caring mentorship, and a curriculum that nurtures independent thinking.

Our approach blends rigorous academics with the arts, hands-on projects, outdoor experiences, and a strong class community. Students build confidence, develop resilience, and gain the skills they need for high school and beyond — all within an environment that honors their individuality and curiosity.
